For me , no . However if it fits your perception ....by all means imagine Caringbah's "stick to the floor show shagpile" and lazy ashtray staff.
I didn't have any one place in mind when I said that .
It could be any old school pub with broken tobacco filtered sunbeams streaming through classroom window frames.
Just last week this was no more evident than when an old mate and I were in town and wanted to get a beer. We wanted one where tradesmen can still eat fish and chips at the bar whilst having a bit of friendly drunken banter with the bar maids.
This was almost impossible ...we ended up in some 3 story pseudo nightclub/suit & tie pool hall with lounges for bar stools and where your change from a twenty comes in coins on a silver guilt tray.
I'm heading south to the last aussie stronghold.

Oh how I yearn for beer soaked carpet
And over flowing ashtray's
The sound of guitars being tuned
On a happy hour Friday's
A dunny without a mirror
A schooner without fruit
A beer garden in the sun
A new tele from a boot
A pack of smokes over the bar
A jukebox with rock "n " roll
where everyday is Saturday
and we're all on the dole
But now its all alfresco
And 14 dollar food
less beer that costs more money
that's put me in this mood
And now we line like starving
for bouncers to let us pass
So here's where I tell Northies
To shove it up their arse
( carcharias)
what do you mean you wish you were all on the dole
isnt this already the case in the sutherland shire????

here's another poem I've written:
He call's himself Dimitri
And he takes it up the arse
He goes for St George Ilawarra
And he takes it up the arse
He call's himself Dimitri
And he takes it up the arse
He goes for St George Ilawarra
And he takes it up the arse
yeah? $2.60 schooners at charlie chans on george stProbably the cheapest place to buy a beer in town
We had a similar thread to this a few months ago and I beleive was concocted by shireshark..........one track mind I'd say
